Congratulations to all of you, and thank you for all your hard work!
This month’s featured judge is Mark Brown, L3 from Australia (and/or England). He became a judge 15 years ago! L4 judge James Mackay had this to say about Mark:
Also known as Mnark.
“Mark was the very first Magic Judge I ever met, and to this day he is the image I call to mind when asked about the quintessential Judge. He was always enthused by the rules, always up for a chat and always brimming with good advice. The Australian Judge community would not be where it without Mark, and I certainly wouldn’t be either – Mark certified me for L1! But more than that, he lit a fire of passion for the rules in many, and deservedly stands as a leader of our community to this day – a testament to his own passion, and ability to both work with the Program and have the Program work for him. Thanks Mark!!
